The aims to be aimed at

 




The result that your plans or actions are intended to achieve is called an aim. There is Swami Vivekananda who has already told what should be called 'the prime aim' in life and his words are here under quotation, " They alone live... Who lives for others..." 


My aim is what my family, my real life, my atmosphere, my surroundings permit or allow me to do or go for. As I see day by day, my duty is gradually getting separated from my aim. I have seen many people cherishing their sought after careers end up with just what their present situation demands them to follow.


 Now I am a student and studying is my prime duty for the time being. Covid-19 has made us learn how to stand unitedly in need. So my aim is to go through hard labour, to be disciplined, to be honest, to be earnest and to follow the truth always. And I do believe there is no single aim in my life, rather I had better have multiple aims in my single life. The only thing which is to be assured is whether they are set in order to be accomplished chronologically. 

 

I feel there are so many strings in my life to get control over me, to get me disciplined. For that matter, I too, cherish getting myself separated from some norms & disciplined I undergo, but I have seen flying kites cut off from their strings, being incapable of flying any more and gradually falling down on an isolated land or on any deep water body impossible for the followers to reach. 


The lesson we can learn from Arjuna in the Mahabharata is how to be attentive to anything worth doing. We should always put the chaos aside and concentrate on things that matter. Again, on the one hand, in the 21st century there is no one to be Dronacharya as was in the Mahabharata, but on the other hand, the Arjunas in this modern era are having to face more challenges and get distracted more by being influenced under the world of internet, and of social media than Arjuna in the Mahabharata. 


My exact aim is to always follow what my present situation demands. For me, my teachers and my parents are the influencers whom my inspiration comes from. In the future, if I am to do something good for others, I must stand, in need, beside those who are in distress. And this is exactly what my aim is in my life...
